It's usually the lowest bid that gets the contract. Then, once signed, every last little alteration costs the customer a fortune.

I had a friend who had a contract redecorating pubs. If the pub owners didn't make any changes as they went along, he lost money on the job. Wanna bet that he never lost money?
